Success this time comes down to two things: did we drive the largest early vote in the history of the republic, and did we recruit and train a grassroots force capable of repelling Trump’s sabotage? #NoKings

Here's the video that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton tried so hard to hide of him vacationing with his mistress in London that he allegedly lunged at an American tourist who recorded it. Share!

“60 Minutes” — once a fearless national treasure — has been largely gutted. Over a year ago, I appeared on “60 Minutes” because I trusted the leaders of CBS to report the news with honesty and bravery.

Exactly.
Any time any anchor ever asks a Democrat about Hasan Piker, the correct response is “Piker isn’t running for anything. Republicans have a literal candidate supported by Mike Johnson who refers to kids as cum trophies. You’re asking the wrong questions.”
HOLY SHIT - Tapper plays Johnson footage of GOP candidate Brandon Herrera describing moms as "cum trophies," mentions he called Nazi machine guns "the original ghetto blasters," & asks Johnson how he can support him. Mike says "he has run a very effective campaign ... that was his persona online"

Looks like a certain petulant brat got his saggy ass handed to him by a strong woman. You know how much he must have delighted in that. Thank you, President Connolly!

Trump will probably stroke out or something before he leaves office, so punishment for him is up to his Maker. what I'm chiefly interested in is punishment for the people who have enabled him

I hope folks realize this Bab al-Mandab situation will be much worse than the Strait of Hormuz if it’s not sorted out quickly.

And it doesn’t currently look like it will be sorted out quickly.

Trump keeps yelling at the women covering the White House because the men covering the White House say nothing when he does. The White House media corps is a disgrace, on almost every possible level.

UCLA left this particular Bluesky post out of their allegations.

Gee, I wonder why? Could it be because I clearly state I’m “not celebrating violence or murder”…?
Charlie Kirk is on record saying Black Women “do not have the brain power to be take seriously.”

Of course, I don’t endorse or celebrate gun violence or murder—I’m also not sad this dude is gone. Sorry not sorry.
